of the suspension and in the housing have to be occasionally removed.

3. Keep the pressure washer nozzle during washing at a distance of at least 30
cm from the bellows.
The temperature of the washing water must not be higher than 50°C.
NOTE:
Do not use special nozzles, such as turbo nozzles, when washing. Follow the
instructions of the pressure washer manufacturer.
4. Install the protective housings back to the suspension.

Cleaning polycarbonate windows

The polycarbonate windows must be cleaned regularly to keep the windows
bright as long as possible.
Wash the windows by hand or pressure washer.
NOTE:
Do not use special nozzles, such as turbo nozzles, when washing. Follow the
instructions of the pressure washer manufacturer.
Do not point the pressure washer towards the side seals or lead-through
seals. The possible detergent may reach the glass parts which are not
coated.
Wipe the stains by using a detergent or plenty of water.
The coated parts of the windows withstand different detergents well.
NOTE: Do not use abrasive detergents and do not rub the windows dry.
Do not use the window wiper on a dry window.
Ensure that there is enough fluid in the washer reservoir.
Never clean the polycarbonate windows using a sharp tool like an ice
scraper.
